bike is baddass
How did the front brake feel improve after upgrading the caliper? I currently have the stock caliper with the RCS15 master cylinder, but I'm not happy with the brake feel. After a few laps on a tight track, the lever comes all the way to the handlebar as the brake gets hot.
I didnt change my caliper bolts to shorter one when I upgrade my 701 to Stylema and it torqued just fine. Weird
Man your bike looks sweet! I bet it rips at the track! Question for ya regarding the brembo master cylinder, I just grabbed a 15mm for my 690 and was wondering if your mechanic did anything to the banjo at the bar end to get it to work or did he just leave the stock line as it is? I got a 90 degree banjo just in case but not sure how to install that 🙃 thanks man! Keep up the great videos!
@LifeWellRidden we used a 90 degree banjo. I ordered the kit from Rottweiler and the 90 degree banjo was all that's needed to work with the stock line.
Stock caliper is good enough, in my opinion as well.
@@motoken your the man thank you!! How did you install the banjo? Did you have to cut or remove anything from the factory line?
@LifeWellRidden no just install the banjo to the master cylinder and the stock brake line after. The 90-degree banjo is what corrects the oem line angle. Otherwise, without it, the only other way is creating a new line from scratch.
@@motoken oh sweet!! So it’s fairly simple, I have no idea what I’m doing so this should be fun but you have helped a ton!! Thank you!!
i have no idea, can you explain please.
its a rcs 15mm model,
but on the front of lever area reads "20 --- 18" .. what does the "20 --- 18" represent?
Thanks for sharing this video... Looks really good. Are you happy with the upgrade and has it improved braking power and feel? Also what size bolts did you use? I'm tempted to go the same route but keep the stock master cylinder apparently it's going to work as good as the brembo one you have but I'm quoting rottweiler website at the moment... 👍🏼
Did you use the stock 690 brake line for the stylema and rcs
@@alexanderc198 yes
Why did you upgrade the front brake system? Are you experiencing brake fade during hard riding?
Just hoping for better feel
